I have only / partition and I used chroot /mnt/sysimage on the rescue console. I tried reinstalling grub by using 'grub-install /dev/had' but it told me that it couldn't read the file /boot/grub/stage1
So, what do you think?

XE Still has serious problems with calendar, contacts, etc.
by Christopher A. Williams
I'm running the latest Severn2 updates. Aside from the gdm crashing
problem, I'm still seeing the same hangs with Evolution (when using
pretty much any feature other than the mail client). It's still
evolution-wombat, I believe, that is causing the problem.
I will bugzilla if it is not already in there. BTW, that's evolution
1.4.5-2.
I still also have the sync problems with evolution and my Palm Tungsten
T. Jpilot works flawlessly.
Cheers,
Chris

Hi!
What's the status on acl support in severn2? If acls aren't available in
severn2 are they planned for the next test release?

Linux-wlan install breaks Fedora test2 pcmcia
by fedora-test-list
After installing linux-wlan on Fedora test2 (Vaio R505TS ACPI Laptop),
pcmcia breaks with the following upon startup:
[root@localhost linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1-pre12]# /etc/init.d/pcmcia start
Starting PCMCIA services: modulesmodprobe: Can't locate module pcmcia_core.o
modprobe: Can't locate module yenta_socket.o
modprobe: Can't locate module ds.o
cardmgr.
In /var/log/messages:
Oct 2 23:35:42 localhost cardmgr[8783]: starting, version is 3.1.31
Oct 2 23:35:42 localhost cardmgr[8783]: no pcmcia driver in /proc/devices
Oct 2 23:35:42 localhost cardmgr[8783]: exiting
I am using pre12 in this example but I have tried other versions of the
linux-wlan code and the result of breaking pcmcia has been the same. Any
help would be appreciated as to how to get the driver working, or how to
get my old pcmcia working. Re-ran depmod -a. Also rebooted. To compile
linux-wlan drivers, they require that you have the pcmcia source on the
system and configured, I downloaded 3.1.22 and threw it in /usr/src/ and
ran make config on it.

I am an idiot. LOL
Just got a reply from Transgaming suggesting that the problem is most
likely not to do with the distro, but more to do with the fact that some
dumbass (me) was trying to run the game from a FAT32 partition.
Copied it over to a Linux partition and it works perfectly.
You now have permission to call me lots of names ;)
